A search warrant has been issued for actor Alec Baldwin's cell phone in connection with the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film 'Rust,' according to court documents released Thursday from Santa Fe County.
A judge on Thursday signed the warrant which states that Baldwin, along with his attorney, were asked to turn over the phone, and the detective was told to "acquire a warrant."
Officials are looking to obtain messages, call logs, digital photos and videos as well as any private messages sent on social media platforms in relation to the production of "Rust," the warrant said. It also looks to obtain any deleted videos, photos and messages on the phone that have to do with the movie.
Hutchins was fatally shot October 21 during a rehearsal for a scene in a church at Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico. Director Joel Souza was also injured in the shooting.
Baldwin told ABC's George Stephanopoulos earlier this month the scene was going to show him cocking the gun, and he and Hutchins were going over how she wanted to position his hand right before the gun went off.
